Chapter 1043 - 570: The Meaning of "Annihilation" (Part 2)

"May the fire be eternal!" Hundreds of aged figures responded in unison, sitting cross-legged around the altar, their bodies emanating a weak but resilient power of fire, intertwining with the flames on the altar, forming an ancient resonance.

Xu Qinghan felt the power, and her heart was full of emotions. She knew she wasn’t alone; the entire fire network was fighting for her.

The elder waved his hand, and a golden light shot out from the altar, landing at Xu Qinghan’s feet, forming an ancient teleportation array.

"Go, child." The elder said kindly, "Remember, the fire is undying, hope everlasting."

Xu Qinghan bowed once more to the elder and all the guardians, then stepped into the teleportation array resolutely.

Instantly, the golden light enveloped her, and in the next moment, she disappeared from the fire sanctuary.

When Xu Qinghan opened her eyes again, she found herself in a starry sky of deathly silence.

In her sight was endless darkness and coldness, with no starlight, no sign of life, only occasionally floating cosmic dust and that distant star domain shrouded in pitch-black nothingness.

That star domain was the tomb of the void.

It was once a prosperous star domain, now enveloped by darkness, countless broken star fragments floating like tombstones in the void, exuding suffocating deathly silence.

Xu Qinghan felt the terrifying aura emanating from the tomb of the void, that power of nothingness was richer and purer than the nucleus of annihilation, as if it could devour all life.

"This is... the tomb of the void." Xu Qinghan murmured softly, the ancient God’s fire within her began to throb violently, sensing the threat from the void.

She did not hesitate for a moment, transformed into a golden stream of light, and charged directly toward the tomb of the void.

The closer she got, the stronger the void power became, even beginning to erode her fire barrier. Xu Qinghan clenched her teeth and fully activated the ancient God’s fire, dispersing the nothingness trying to entangle her.

She dove into the edge of the tomb of the void, here long devoid of atmosphere, only the extremely dense void power surging toward her like black tides.

"Buzz——"

At the moment she entered the tomb of the void, chains of pitch-black nothingness suddenly shot out from all directions, wrapping around her like poisonous snakes!

These chains were not tangible, but condensed pure nothingness, carrying the power to corrode everything, attempting to completely bind Xu Qinghan.

"Hmph!" Xu Qinghan snorted coldly, she erupted with the ancient God’s fire, a blazing golden flame burst out from her surroundings, instantly vaporizing those void chains!

However, more void chains poured out from the darkness, dense and endless, forming a giant net of nothingness trying to completely trap her.

Simultaneously, low growling sounds echoed from deep within the star domain, countless fallen and void hunters charged out of the darkness, their eyes glistening with greed and blood lust, pouncing towards Xu Qinghan.

"Indeed, this is one of the lairs of the Master of Nothingness!" Xu Qinghan’s face grew serious, knowing this was just the beginning.

She concentrated the ancient God’s fire into her fists, punching fiercely forward, streams of golden torrents rose skyward, instantly vaporizing the fallen enemies pouncing towards her.

Her figure moved like lightning, weaving through the intense attacks, each dodge narrowly escaping danger, each counterattack carrying the force to shatter mountains and stones. She was no longer the girl who needed protection but a reborn igniter of fire, her every attack carried the purifying power of fire, dispersing the void aura.

However, the Master’s power was too vast, the tomb of the void serving as its power concentration area, the number of void entities inside was beyond imagination.

While fighting, Xu Qinghan sensed the faint fire aura deep within the tomb of the void. She knew that’s the flame she needed to find.

She must break through these obstacles, penetrate the tomb of the void, and find the suppressed fire.

"Jie jie jie..."

Suddenly, creepy laughter echoed from the darkness, distorted shadows surged out, carrying thick resentment and void aura from all directions.

They weren’t pure void entities, their bodies twisted and blurred, yet the outlines of once-living beings could be seen. Their eyes flashed with malice and madness, ancient civilization beings eroded by void, transformed into void spectral spirits!

These void spectral spirits were more terrifying than the fallen ones. They not only possessed great void power but also the bizarre abilities of their former lives, even able to attack divine souls directly, plunging one into endless illusions and despair.

"Igniter of fire... surrender your fire... join us in Gui Xu..." A void spectral spirit spoke in a hoarse voice, its body twisted, yet the outline of a once-powerful mage could be seen, it waved its hand, black runes flew from its palm, transforming into void chains directly entangling Xu Qinghan’s divine soul!

Xu Qinghan’s heart shuddered, she erupted the ancient God’s fire furiously, a blazing golden flame burst from her forehead, transforming into a golden barrier, vaporizing the void runes instantly.

However, more void spectral spirits rushed out from the darkness, emitting shrill screams, attacks formed by condensed void power surged towards Xu Qinghan, carrying the power to erode the divine soul.

While fighting, Xu Qinghan resisted the erosion of her divine soul. She knew the most terrifying aspect of these void spectral spirits wasn’t their physical attacks but their corrosion of the divine soul.

She erupted the ancient God’s fire fiercely, a blazing golden flame burst from her body, forming a golden ripple, spreading outward.

"Fire purification!" Xu Qinghan roared lowly, where the golden ripple passed, those void spectral spirits emitted painful cries, their bodies began to crack under the purifying fire, finally transforming into points of void aura, dissipating into the void.

However, there were too many void spectral spirits, seemingly endless, rushing out from all corners of the tomb of the void, relentlessly pouncing towards Xu Qinghan.

Xu Qinghan knew she couldn’t waste time here. She must quickly find the fire seed, otherwise, the power of fire within her would sooner or later be exhausted.

She soared into the sky, transformed into a golden stream of light, charging directly toward the deepest part of the tomb of the void.

But just as she was about to enter the core area of the tomb of the void, a terrifying pressure surged from ahead.

"Boom!"

The entire tomb of the void trembled violently, tides of pitch-black nothingness surged from deep within, forming a massive black whirlpool in the air.

Within the whirlpool, ancient runes shimmered, twisted and weird, emitting heart-palpitating power.

"Void Burial Heaven Array!" Xu Qinghan’s face changed suddenly. She understood this was the strongest array laid down here by the Master of Nothingness.

The pitch-black whirlpool expanded suddenly, enveloping Xu Qinghan within.

Xu Qinghan felt an irresistible suction from the whirlpool, her body uncontrollably falling towards the depths of the whirlpool.

She exploded the ancient God’s fire fiercely, a blazing golden flame burst from her body, forming a golden barrier, attempting to resist the suction.

However, the power of the Void Burial Heaven Array was too formidable. It not only devoured all life but distorted space, reversing heaven and earth. Xu Qinghan’s fire barrier shuddered violently under the erosion of the Void Burial Heaven Array, seeming close to shattering.

"Igniter of fire, you cannot escape!" An icy and majestic voice echoed from the depths of the Void Burial Heaven Array, drenched in endless mockery and coldness.

Xu Qinghan raised her head abruptly, seeing in the center of the Void Burial Heaven Array, a pitch-black shadow carrying terrifying pressure slowly emerged.

It was a Void Monarch, formed by pure void power!
